Are you interested in being trained to deliver mental health training in your workplace?

The University of Sydney's Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use is now taking registrations for our inaugural National Comorbidity Guidelines Train-the-Trainer day.

The training is based on the Australian Government Department of Health-funded National Comorbidity Guidelines (Guidelines on the management of co-occurring alcohol and other drug and mental health conditions in alcohol and other drug treatment settings), and has been developed by researchers from the University of Sydney Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use, in collaboration with 360edge.

Participants will become certified to deliver the National Comorbidity Guidelines Face-to-Face Training Program, and provide evidence-based training for alcohol and other drug workers to improve their capacity to manage co-occurring mental disorders.

How does 'train the trainer' work?

Unlike traditional training, a 'train the trainer' approach is designed to engage experienced trainers, who can deliver the course material to others. By adopting a ‘train the trainer’ approach and harnessing the skills of existing trainers, a greater number of training sessions can be held across the country, ensuring the evidence-based training program is delivered to as many people as possible.

Training partner: 360edge

The National Comorbidity Guidelines Train-the-Trainer day will be delivered by 360edge, Australia’s leading specialist consultants in AOD policy and practice. 360edge combines more than 25 years of academic research with hands-on clinical experience to provide training that is both evidence-based and practical to implement.

What's in the National Comorbidity Guidelines Face-to-Face Training Program?

Content from the face-to-face training is based on the Guidelines on the management of co-occurring alcohol and other drug and mental health conditions in alcohol and other drug treatment settings (2nd edition) developed by researchers from the University of Sydney's Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use. The evidence-based Comorbidity Guidelines are a widely used clinical resource, and were developed in consultation with a panel of experts, drawing on the experience and knowledge of clinicians, consumers, carers and researchers.

The National Comorbidity Guidelines Face-to-Face Training Program is designed to be flexible. Trainers can choose to deliver any combination of the seven half-day modules below depending on the needs of the workplace receiving training.

Module 1: Understanding Comorbidity (Compulsory, Core)

Module 2: Screening and Assessment (Compulsory, Core)

Module 3: Applying Motivational Enhancement, Cognitive, and Behavioural Approaches to Co-Occurring Disorders (Optional)

Module 4: Anxiety, Depression, and Bipolar Disorder (Optional)
